The Walmart-owned retailer will offer top
brands for outdoor enthusiasts
Walmart-owned Moosejaw, a leading retailer specializing in
outdoor gear and apparel, is opening the doors to its first
physical store in Arkansas October 21. The store is located in
Bentonville, just blocks from where Sam Walton opened Walton’s 5
& 10 in 1950. Nearly 20 new associates will be employed at the
store.
Moosejaw, which was acquired by Walmart in 2017, carries top
outdoors brands like Rocky Mountain and Burton for bike and snow
enthusiasts, as well as well-known apparel and footwear labels such
as The North Face, Prana, Columbia and Keen. Customers will shop
from a selection of adult and kid offerings at the store. The
Bentonville location is 6,000 square feet, making it the second
largest Moosejaw store in the country. The size will allow the
retailer space to offer an expanded assortment that includes bikes
and snowsports equipment and tuning services.
“Bentonville has become one of the top mountain biking
destinations in the US, so we wanted to be there and bring cool
brands like Evil and Rocky Mountain Bikes to the area,” said Eoin
Comerford, Moosejaw CEO. “We were particularly attracted to
downtown due to the proximity to the trails and ongoing
revitalization and investment in pedestrian malls, hotels and more.
Our backpacking and snow sports assortment will also fill gaps in
the local market. The Ozarks are right in our backyard and world
class skiing is a two-hour flight away.”
The acquisition of Moosejaw represents Walmart’s broader
commitment to continue to deliver an expanded assortment of
high-quality items to customers shopping online.
This will be Moosejaw’s twelfth physical location and is
complemented by a robust online shopping platform. The new store is
located at 111 South Main Street in Bentonville. The store will be
open Monday – Saturday: 10am-8pm, and Sunday: 11am-6pm, and will
offer curbside pickup and orders by phone. Customer can also
schedule appointments for bike tuning services including tube
changes, cable installs, and brake adjustments.
A grand opening will be held from October 29 – 30 to celebrate
the opening of Moosejaw’s doors. The event will include fun
activities for customers, swag giveaways, and opportunities to win
prizes.
